How much does a stradivarius violin cost?

Stradivari has hundreds violin of the world, but it is considered that only 50 have concert quality. During his life Stradivari made over 1,000 instruments.
The most valuable instruments that Stradivari made during his 'golden period', the 1700th to 1720th year.
A Stradivarius made in the 1680s or during Stradivari's Brescian period (1690-1700) could be worth several hundred thousand dollars or more at today's prices in auction. If made during Stradivari's "golden period" (1700 to 1720), depending on condition, the instrument can be worth several million. They rarely come up for sale and the highest price paid for a Stradivarius (or any musical instrument) at public auction was 'The Christian Hammer', made in 1707, which sold for US $3,544,000 on May 16, 2006. Private sales of Stradivari instruments have exceeded this price
